Windows 10: I need my Bitlocker recovery key but changed my phone number and have to wait 30 days, how...

So I recently decided to update to Windows 11 but once it finished and rebooted I was prompted with the BitLocker page. I had never encountered this before and my laptop is fairly new less than 1 year old. I’ve also never been asked to save the recovery key or anything of the sort. Hoping that my recover key is on my Microsoft account I try to log in only to find that it sent the verification code I needed to my old phone number. There was no option to send it to my email. I changed the phone number to the current one but apparently I need to wait 30 days for it to change. Now I can’t get

BitLocker recovery number

I need a BitLocker recovery number and Microsoft listed three for me but my number is older.

I need the Bitlocker recovery number for Desktop-G56NOSG dated 6/24/2017.

Other information; Key ID = FDD6ADB1

Link id number is 857635

This is for a Lenovo MIIX 320-101CR and nothing works without the BitLocker recovery number.

I can not access by other login and even the F8 key is not working since it can't find the keyboard.

Thanks,
